Decidedly we cannot overlook the importance of achieving peace in the Middle East if we are bent on world peace. The deadlock * in the Middle East must be broken. Selfgovernment for the Jews and selfgovernment for the Arabs with each controlling its domestic and foreign policies. including immigration. peace in the Middle East. development in the Middle East of a progressive civilization. the liftitig of a burden from Britain and the redemption of her pledge. the rescue and rehabilitation of Jewish refugees now languishing in DP camps. all these are spelled out by a workable partition of Palestine. In reviewing both the Jewish and Arab case. we must keep in mind that the historical connection of Jewry with the Holy Land has never been broken and that connection has been recognized internationally by 53 nations including the United States. Both the Balfour Declaration and the mandate guaranteed a national homeland to the Jews in Palestine.
